Comments:1305 - This class was really difficult for me as she went through everything so quickly. One of my classes she literally covered 5 units in. There are lots of easy pop quizzes that count for extra credit, but the class overall is based on 4 tests. Your lowest test grade gets dropped and the final is mostly questions from past tests. Any time I asked her for help she was no help whatsoever. Overall I would not recommend. She talks really fast and it is hard to keep up in the class. - Grade In Class:C+
Comments:BIO 1305 - She was brand new to teaching, and it showed. She should have had more help guiding us through the class. She doesn't assign any homework, which I ended up hating because I was struggling to find practice problems to prepare for exams. Her final is all questions from previous exams, so STUDY THOSE. - Grade In Class:C+
Comments:1305 - She is very nice and forgiving with tests and questions with office hours. She understands the material well but sometime her style of teaching made it difficult to pay attention in class. I would definitely recommend her as her tests were pretty easy, and the final replaces the lowest test and is pretty much just questions from previous exams. There is also no work outside of class or any homework, I never personally used the textbook either, just videos and powerpoint slides. - Grade In Class:A
Comments:1305 - A pop quiz is technically participation. Final exam (200 points in weight grade) replaces the drop exam. The final exam is from all the old tests. She sends back test results through Canvas. Make sure to save them. The provided study point/guide and SI are helpful. Watch Amoeba Sister, and use Anki/Quizlet. - Grade In Class:A
Comments:1305 - Honestly I feel like she was not given the proper chance like yea you didnt get the offical schduelde for dates for the tests, btu other wise she was pretty chill, she did popquizzes that you did with your group but honeslty its just free extra credit points, she gives those out, and she tends to try and curve the tests if possible. shes really sweet, but tends to struggle dumbing things donw, she is really smart, otherwise shes a really good teacher! her final was the previous exams combined into one! - Grade In Class:B
Comments:1305 - Okay I'm not gonna lie she isn't the best teacher. She goes off of powerpoints and she is hard to follow sometimes because she kind of goes off on these tangents when explaining stuff. There were some instances where people asked questions and her answer didn't really make sense. Overall though, she is a very forgiving grader and her exams were easy enough. Her "quizzes" are more like discussions and everyone gets a grade for participating. I would take this class again just because there was absolutely no work outside of studying which is nice if you are taking other classes like chemistry and math. She is willing to explain things more in depth in her office hours but I found myself just studying on my own time. This class is easy if you just take time to understand the materials. Just do the active readings and the SI worksheets and you will be fine. - Grade In Class:A
